As stated, a plurality of lamps 120 are coupled to " L " shape lamp socket 101c and the 103c that is fixed on balance PCB 101 and 103, and have constant interval betwixt.In situation,, approximately arrange 16 lamps for higher brightness with 32 inches large-area LCD TV.And, in situation, approximately arrange 18~20 lamps with 40 inches large-area LCD TV.Yet, use this total principle according to each pattern differently.Here, lamp 120 can be one of cold-cathode fluorescence lamp (CCFL), external-electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL) and hot cold fluorescent light (HCFL).
Be arranged on the balance PCB that comprises socket 101c and 103c 101 and 103 of both sides, range upon range of side supporter 130 promptly, is used to protect balance PCB 101 and 103 to avoid the retaining element of external impact influence.Here, comprise the inclination special angle and have the tilt frame 130b of semicircle lamp fixed part 130b1, wherein should be used for lamp 120 being fixed to lower cover 100 by semicircle lamp fixed part 130b1 in contact portion with the framework of the side supporter 130 of fashion of extrusion manufacturing; The vertical frame 130a spaced apart and that form in vertical direction with tilt frame 130b; The upper frame 130c that extends from the upside of two frameworks in the horizontal direction.
Here, the vertical frame 130a of side supporter 130 is coupled to two sidewalls of lower cover 100.In order to make connector protruding, preferably some location at vertical frame 130a form the hole, wherein apply the AC high pressure to this connector from outside first and second inverters.
Optical element 140 is set on the side supporter 130, and its both sides are supported by side supporter 130.Optical element 140 comprises the scatter plate (not shown) that is used for directly be distributed to LC panel 150 whole surfaces equably from the light of a plurality of lamp 120 emissions with through the light of reflecting plate 105 reflections; With the optical sheet (not shown) that is used for providing other optical characteristics to the light that passes scatter plate.
Main supporter 145 is coupled to the upside of back light unit.When applying external impact for LCD equipment, the main supporter 145 that has back light unit below is used to keep imposing on the whole equilibrium of forces of LCD equipment.In addition, through consideration LC panel 150 is arranged on the front surface (or uper side surface) of main supporter 145, main supporter 145 has following figure, promptly forms step between surface and the exterior side surfaces within it.
Be arranged on a plurality of cell processing of LC panel 150 processes on the main supporter 145.In other words, LC panel 150 comprises as switchgear and the array base palte, the filter substrate with the color filter that is used for display color that when forming thin film transistor (TFT) at each unit pixel place, form and the LC that between array base palte and filter substrate, injects.
Polarizer 151 and 152 is attached to two side surfaces of LC panel 150.Polarizer 151 and 152 be used for seeing through the light that provides from back light unit with the light of polarization axle equidirectional vibration, simultaneously through using suitable medium to absorb or reflection forms the light with a specific direction vibration with the light of other directions vibrations.
LC panel 150 is provided with protecting component 160, is used to protect LC panel 150 to avoid the influence of external impact and reduce the reflection of light rate from outside incident.More particularly, protecting component 160 comprises and is used to protect LC panel 150 to avoid the rigid substrates 160a of external impact influence; Through the anti-reflecting layer 160b that is exposed to the outside on the uper side surface that is formed on rigid substrates 160a and contacts with exterior light; With on the downside surface that is formed on rigid substrates 160a and the adhesion layer 160c that contacts with polarizer 151 on LC panel 150 or the LC panel 150.
Here, rigid substrates 160a is formed by the nonbreakable glass with about 3mm thickness, thereby can protect wherein LC panel 150 to avoid the influence of external impact.Through nonbreakable glass is strengthened in the distortion of the surface compression of molded plate shape glass and portion's stretcher strain within it, wherein molded plate shape glass is heated to 500 ℃~600 ℃ near softening temperature, and the cold air through compression cools off strongly then.Rigid substrates has corresponding to the bending strength of 3~5 times in general glass, corresponding to the impact resistance property of 3~8 times in general glass and outstanding thermotolerance.Because rigid substrates keeps whole equilibrium of forces therein, so even downcut a side of rigid substrates, entire portion can crackedly be small pieces all.Therefore, before carrying out rigid treatment, need form rigid substrates with the shape that is applicable to said purpose.
The anti-reflecting layer 160b that is formed on the uper side surface of rigid substrates 160a and is exposed to exterior light has the surface through the antireflection sputter process.In other words, when two materials with different refractivity alternately are formed on the rigid substrates 160a with 5 or 6 layers, formed anti-reflecting layer 160b.For example, the ground floor that at first is exposed to daylight or external modulation is formed by the material with low-refraction, and the second layer is formed by the material with high index of refraction, and the 3rd layer is formed by the material with low-refraction once more.Under this structure, fade away when passing each layer from the light of outside incident, reduced reflectivity thus.Yet anti-reflecting layer 160a needn't pass through the surface treatment of using the antireflection sputter.But, but antagonistic reflex layer 160a uses various surface treatment methods, like anti-reflective coating or antipollution processing or the processing of anti-fingerprint.
With the mode of UV or thermmohardening, form adhesion layer 160c by having colloid with top rigid substrates 160a or following polarizer 151 approximated refractive rates etc., this adhesion layer 160c is formed on the downside surface of rigid substrates 160a and with LC panel 150 and contacts.Make the light incide anti-reflecting layer 160b and to pass rigid substrates 160a absorbed (or passing) continuously and have adhesion layer 160c and polarizer 151 with rigid substrates 160a approximated refractive rate.Therefore, farthest be reduced to the total reflectivity of LC panel 150 outsides.
For example; If passing the light of anti-reflecting layer 160b contacts with the air of locating to be provided with in protecting component that comprises anti-reflecting layer 160b 160 and the clearance between the LC panel 150; Then because the different refractivity between rigid substrates 160a and the air, light from the interface between protecting component 160 and the clearance to external reflection.As a result, increase to LC panel 150 outside total reflectivities.
In order to tackle this problem, the adhesion layer 160c on the protecting component 160 is formed by the material that has with rigid substrates 160a approximated refractive rate, and by have with following LC panel 150 or LC panel 150 on the material of polarizer 151 approximated refractive rates form.
As colloid with 1.3~1.8 refractive indexes that are similar to rigid substrates 160a or polarizer 151; Can use from what sony corporation of japan obtained and comprise based on the optics elastic resin of acrylic acid uv-hardening resin SVR (super view resin (ultraphotic resin)) as Main Ingredients and Appearance.Yet colloid of the present invention is not limited to this specific colloid.But can use any colloid, as long as it is within the scope of the invention, for ease, can use UV or thermmohardening to handle.
Here, colloid can extraly comprise at least a in solvent, plastifier and/or the interfacial agent.Colloid has strengthened the engaging force between the polarizer 151 on rigid substrates 160a and the LC panel 150.The amount that can change colloid is handled to quicken UV or thermmohardening.
The form of colloid with liquid is arranged on the downside surface of rigid substrates 160a, following rigid substrates 160a with colloid is attached on the polarizer 151 on the side surface that is formed at LC panel 150.Then, through through UV radiation, perhaps colloid is hardened from the heat supply of LC panel 150 downsides from rigid substrates 160a upside.As a result, formed the protecting component 160 that is coupled to LC panel 150.
Colloid on will being formed at rigid substrates 160a downside surface is attached to the method on the LC panel 150, also can use additive method.In other words, colloid can be formed on the polarizer 151 on the LC panel 150, perhaps when not having polarizer 151, can be formed directly on LC panel 150.Then, rigid substrates 160a is attached on the colloid.Then, colloid perhaps from the heat supply of LC panel 150 downsides, is hardened through the UV radiation from rigid substrates 160a upside thus.Therefore, formed the protecting component 160 that is coupled to LC panel 150.
Loam cake 170 is coupled to lower cover 100, surrounds four edges of protecting component 160 on the LC panel 150 and the side surface of main supporter 145.
With reference to Fig. 5, because the refractive index (n2) of the anti-reflecting layer 160b of refractive index of air (n1) and protecting component 160 differs from one another, so the light that incides on the protecting component 160 from the outside at first reflects at it at the interface.Here, pass light outside scattering when passing a plurality of layers that wherein alternately are formed with two different materials of anti-reflecting layer 160b, fade away thus.Then, light continues to pass through and has with the rigid substrates 160a of anti-reflecting layer 160b approximated refractive rate (n3), has and the adhesion layer 160c of anti-reflecting layer 160b approximated refractive rate (n4) and the polarizer 151 on the LC panel 150.Therefore, light does not reflect at each at the interface, has reduced to reflex to the total reflectivity of the outside light of LC panel 150 or protecting component 160 thus.
Here, when rigid substrates 160a has 1.4~1.7 refractive index (n3), when polarizer 151 had 1.4~1.6 refractive index (n5), adhesion layer 160c had 1.3~1.8 refractive index (n4).Each the refractive index that rigid substrates 160a, adhesion layer 160c and polarizer 151 are set makes the difference between it be no more than " 0.2 ".
Therefore, not only reduced the surface reflectivity on the protecting component 160, but also reduced boundary reflection rate, reduced total reflectivity thus by each medium generation.
Afterwards, with the reflectivity relevant simulation of explanation with LCD equipment with protecting component 160.
As experimental conditions, use the LCD equipment of 42 inches sizes with 18 lamps, measurable light level is up to 4000lux.
Fig. 6 A is the curve map of contrast (CR) of the LCD equipment of displayed map 3 and 4, and Fig. 6 B is the curve map of color rendering rate of the LCD equipment of displayed map 3 and 4.
Shown in Fig. 6 A; Have protecting component and having the LCD equipment (AG+ single surfaces A RS) of the anti-reflecting layer that forms on the uper side surface at rigid substrates through sputter process; In the LCD equipment (the two surfaces A RS of AG+) that has through sputter process the anti-reflecting layer that on the uper side surface of rigid substrates and downside surface, forms, observe very approximate contrast (CR).
On the contrary; Based on 4000lux; Wherein polarizer is attached on the LC panel and does not have the LCD equipment (AG Pol) of extra anti-reflex treated (surface treatment), demonstrate each other significantly different contrast with the LCD equipment (ARC Pol) that wherein on a side surface of polarizer, carries out anti-reflective coating.
More particularly, shown in Fig. 6 A, suppose that each contrast (CR) of LCD equipment in dark situation is 1000:1, then LCD equipment (the single surface/two surfaces A RS of AG+) demonstrates the contrast (CR) of about 600:1 in the lighting environment of 4000lux.On the contrary; Have and be attached to the polarizer on the LC panel and do not have the LCD equipment (AG Pol) of extra anti-reflex treated (surface treatment) to demonstrate the contrast (CR) of about 100:1, and the LCD equipment (ARC Pol) that on a side surface of polarizer, carries out anti-reflective coating demonstrates the contrast (CR) of about 300:1.
Through the value of these measurements, can obtain predicted value.For example, have corresponding to 1000 if be exposed to the LCD equipment of daylight out of doors in the environment fully, the intensity level of 000lux, the LCD equipment that then in indoor environment, is exposed to daylight (semi-outdoor environment) has corresponding to about 10, the intensity level of 000lux.And the brightest light fixture has corresponding to about 5 in indoor lamp, the intensity level of 000lux.Fig. 6 A is the curve map that shows according to each contrast (CR) of different intensity levels.
Can find out, based on 4,000lux, contrast (CR) is inversely proportional to intensity level.
Afterwards, with reference to Fig. 6 B, will be explained under the condition identical color rendering rate according to the LCD equipment of each intensity level with Fig. 6 A.
With reference to Fig. 6 B, suppose that all LCD equipment demonstrate 73.4% color rendering rate in the darkroom, LCD equipment then according to the present invention demonstrates about 72.4% color rendering rate 4 in the intensity level of 000lux.On the contrary; Have and be attached to the polarizer on the LC panel and do not have the LCD equipment (AG Pol) of extra anti-reflex treated (surface treatment) to demonstrate about 69.1% color rendering rate, the LCD equipment (ARC Pol) that on a side surface of polarizer, carries out anti-reflective coating demonstrates about 71% color rendering rate.
In LCD equipment according to the present invention; When on the LC panel, protecting component being set; On protecting component, form the anti-reflecting layer that is exposed to exterior light, and between protecting component and LC panel, form the adhesion layer that has with LC panel and protecting component approximated refractive rate.Therefore, can prevent phenomenon, promptly incide on the protecting component light since between the assembly of LCD equipment each at the interface different refractivity and to external reflection.As a result, can significantly reduce the total reflectivity of light, thereby improve outdoor visuality to the LCD device external.
In the present invention, except realizing also can using additive method the method for protecting component through form colloid with UV or thermmohardening mode.For example, adhesion layer can be embodied as double sticky tape, sheet or plate.Here, double sticky tape, sheet or plate must form with rigid substrates and the approximate refractive index materials of polarizer (perhaps being the LC panel when not having polarizer) and not have the clearance betwixt by having.
In LCD equipment according to first embodiment of the invention, protecting component is arranged on the LC panel, can resist external impact and/or exterior light thus, improved outdoor visuality.Yet, according to the LCD equipment of first embodiment of the invention because the thickness of its increase has another problem.In other words, because the interior lights (or light backlight) that the back light unit below being arranged on the LC panel provides, light takes place and leaks in the fringe region place that has the LC panel of protecting component above that.
In order to address this problem, with the LCD equipment of explaining according to second embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 7 is and the partial cross section figure according to the LCD equipment of second embodiment of the invention of Fig. 4 contrast that Fig. 8 is the skeleton view of the protecting component of Fig. 7.
With reference to Fig. 7 and 8, comprise: be used for through receive the back light unit (not shown) that voltage provides light from the outside according to liquid crystal display (LCD) equipment of second embodiment of the invention; Be arranged on the back light unit and the LC panel 250 of display image; With the protecting component 260 that constitutes by rigid substrates 260a and anti-reflecting layer 260b; This rigid substrates 260a is formed on the LC panel 250 and protects LC panel 250 to avoid the external impact influence; And this anti-reflecting layer 260b is formed on the reflectivity that rigid substrates 260a went up and reduced exterior light; Wherein protecting component 260 comprises adhesion layer 260c, and this adhesion layer 260c is formed and protecting component 260 is adhered on the LC panel 250 by the material that has with the rigid substrates 260a approximated refractive rate of protecting component 260; Leak anti-stop element 261 with the light at one or more fringe regions place of the anti-reflecting layer 260b that is formed on protecting component 260.
More particularly, protecting component 260 is by being used to protect LC panel 250 to avoid the rigid substrates 260a of external impact influence; Be formed on the uper side surface of rigid substrates 260a and outwards expose and contact the anti-reflecting layer 260b of exterior light; The adhesion layer 260c that is formed on the downside surface of rigid substrates 260a and contacts with polarizer 251 on LC panel 250 or the LC panel 250; With the one or more fringe regions place that is formed on anti-reflecting layer 260b, and prevent that the light of the light leakage that the back light unit below being arranged on protecting component 260 provides from leaking anti-stop element 261 formations.
Here, rigid substrates 260a can be formed by the nonbreakable glass with about 2~5mm thickness, thereby can protect LC panel 250 to avoid the external impact influence.Through nonbreakable glass is strengthened in the distortion of the surface compression of molded plate shape glass and portion's stretcher strain within it, wherein molded plate shape glass is heated to 500 ℃~600 ℃ near softening temperature, and the cold air through compression cools off strongly then.Rigid substrates has corresponding to the bending strength of 3~5 times in general glass, corresponding to the impact resistance property of 3~8 times in general glass and outstanding thermotolerance.Because rigid substrates keeps whole equilibrium of forces therein, so even downcut a side of rigid substrates, entire portion can crackedly be small pieces all.Therefore, before carrying out rigid treatment, need form rigid substrates with the shape that is applicable to said purpose.
The anti-reflecting layer 260b that is formed on the uper side surface of rigid substrates 260a and is exposed to exterior light has the surface through the antireflection sputter process.In other words, when two materials with different refractivity alternately are formed on the rigid substrates 260a with 5 or 6 layers, formed anti-reflecting layer 260b.For example, the ground floor that at first is exposed to daylight or external modulation is formed by the material with low-refraction, and the second layer is formed by the material with high index of refraction, and the 3rd layer is formed by the material with low-refraction once more.Under this structure, fade away when passing each layer from the light of outside incident, reduced reflectivity thus.Yet anti-reflecting layer 260a needn't pass through the surface treatment of using sputtering method.But, but antagonistic reflex layer 260a uses various surface treatment methods, like anti-reflective coating or antipollution processing or the processing of anti-fingerprint.
Form on the downside surface that is formed on rigid substrates 260a and the adhesion layer 260c that contacts with LC panel 250 with the mode of UV or thermmohardening by having colloid with top rigid substrates 260a or following polarizer 251 approximated refractive rates etc.Make the light incide anti-reflecting layer 260b and to pass rigid substrates 260a absorbed (or passing) continuously and have adhesion layer 260c and polarizer 251 with rigid substrates 260a approximated refractive rate.Therefore, farthest be reduced to the total reflectivity of LC panel 250 outsides.
For example; If passing the light of anti-reflecting layer 260b contacts with the air of locating to be provided with in protecting component that comprises anti-reflecting layer 260b 260 and the clearance between the LC panel 250; Then because the different refractivity between rigid substrates 260a and the air, light from the interface between protecting component 260 and the clearance to external reflection.As a result, increase to LC panel 250 outside total reflectivities.
In order to tackle this problem, the adhesion layer 260c on the protecting component 260 is formed by the material that has with rigid substrates 260a approximated refractive rate, and by have with following LC panel 250 or LC panel 250 on the material of polarizer 251 approximated refractive rates form.
As colloid with 1.3~1.8 refractive indexes that are similar to rigid substrates 260a or polarizer 251; Can use from what sony corporation of japan obtained and comprise based on the optics elastic resin of acrylic acid uv-hardening resin SVR (super view resin (ultraphotic resin)) as Main Ingredients and Appearance.Yet colloid of the present invention is not limited to this specific colloid.But can use any colloid, as long as it is within the scope of the invention, for ease, can use UV or thermmohardening to handle.
Here, colloid can extraly comprise at least a in solvent, plastifier and/or the interfacial agent.Colloid has strengthened the engaging force between the polarizer 251 on rigid substrates 260a and the LC panel 250.Can change the amount of colloid, handle to quicken UV or thermmohardening.
The form of colloid with liquid is arranged on the downside surface of rigid substrates 260a, following rigid substrates 260a with colloid is attached on the polarizer 251 on the side surface that is formed at LC panel 250.Then, through through UV radiation, perhaps colloid is hardened from the heat supply of LC panel 250 downsides from rigid substrates 260a upside.As a result, formed the protecting component 260 that is coupled to LC panel 250.
Colloid on will being formed at rigid substrates 260a downside surface adheres to the method on the LC panel 250, also can use additive method.In other words, colloid can be formed on the polarizer 251 on the LC panel 250, perhaps when not having polarizer 251, can be formed directly on LC panel 250.Then, rigid substrates 260a is attached on the colloid.Then, colloid perhaps from the heat supply of LC panel 250 downsides, is hardened through the UV radiation from rigid substrates 260a upside thus.Therefore, formed the protecting component 260 that is coupled to LC panel 250.
Below one or more fringe regions of protecting component 260, be formed with light and leak anti-stop element (or light leak prevent element) 261, prevent to be provided to the leakage of the light of LC panel 250 thus.Here; Light leaks anti-stop element 261 can be implemented as extra sheet; Or the black matrix" based on resin (BM) that forms through sputter process or photoetching treatment, wherein this photoetching treatment is to use coating method with the identical mode of black matrix" (BM) of filter substrate.Light leaks anti-stop element 261 can be implemented as the burning chromium (CrO with a layer x).

When first area that LC panel 250 is divided into display image be arranged on a side of first area and not during the second area of display image, light leaks anti-stop element 261 and preferably is formed on the second area place.Therefore, light leaks anti-stop element 261 and can be divided into through contacting its overlay area that covers loam cake 270 and on protecting component 260, being exposed to the exposed region of exterior light.
The reflectivity that leaks anti-stop element 261 for the light that will be exposed to exterior light remains with the total reflectivity of the light of the first area that reflexes to LC panel 250 (image-region) and equates that light leaks prevents that stop element 261 is formed by the anti-reflecting layer 260b, nonbreakable glass 260a and the similar refractive index materials of adhesion layer 260c that have with protecting component 260.Under this structure, light leaks prevents that stop element 261 has 0.5~1.5% reflectivity.
Except light leaks anti-stop element 261, according to other assemblies of the LCD equipment of second embodiment of the invention, as the lamp 220 of back light unit and balance PCB 201 with according to the component class of the LCD equipment of first embodiment of the invention seemingly.Therefore, with the explanation of omitting to similar assembly.
LCD equipment according to second embodiment of the invention can have various modifications.For example; As shown in Figure 7; The function maximization of the leakage of the light that provides for the back light unit that will prevent below being arranged on LC panel 250; Corresponding with the anti-stop element 261 of aforementioned lights leakage, can further form second light at the outer edge region place between two substrates that are attached to each other and leak anti-stop element.
Here, second light being leaked anti-stop element forms to have with first light and leaks the identical or different width of anti-stop element 261.Yet; Preferably form second light and leak anti-stop element, wherein prevent that with the leakage of second light first area and the interface between the second area of stop element are consistent at the interface that first light leaks between the second area at the first area that is used for display image and a side that is arranged on the first area or many sides place in the anti-stop element 261 to leak anti-stop element 261 identical width with first light.In other words, form second light and leak anti-stop element, the feasible first area that can not cover display image.
Although do not illustrate, the present invention can be implemented as the total reflectivity that can reduce exterior light at the image-region place of LC panel and the LCD equipment of the leakage of the interior lights that can prevent to provide from below.
For example; In order to form protecting component; On the polarizer of LC panel, form adhesion layer, on adhesion layer, form anti-reflecting layer, and be formed at one or more fringe regions place of anti-reflecting layer preventing that the light of the leakage of the light that provides from back light unit from leaking anti-stop element through coating method etc.
Therefore, protecting component can be only by the anti-reflecting layer of the reflectivity that is used to reduce exterior light; Be attached to the LC panel and do not have the clearance and by the material adhesion layer that form, that be used for seeing through the light that absorbs through anti-reflecting layer that has with LC panel and anti-reflecting layer approximated refractive rate; With the one or more fringe regions place that is formed on anti-reflecting layer, the light that is used to prevent the leakage of the light that provides from back light unit leaks anti-stop element and constitutes.
